'''Battle Spot''' is a feature of the [[PSS]] that allows players to battle online in the [[Generation VI]] games. It has the same functions that the [[Global Battle Union#Random Matchup|Global Battle Union's Random Matchup]] has in the [[Generation V]] games. If a player disconnects on battle spot the battle will be registered as a loss for the player that disconnected and as a win for their oponent, remedying a common complaint about gen V's battle union. With the release of [[Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] battle spot has been split up into the '''ΩR/αS League''' and the '''X/Y League'''. This prevents the games from battling each other, as the new [[mega|mega Pokémon]], [[formes]] and [[signature moves]] released in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are incompatible with X and Y (mega [[Latias]] and mega [[Latios]] are allowed in XY due to their data being in those games). When battle spot is selected from the PSS the player gets the options for Random Matchup, Online Competition, and Quit.

In all battle spot modes nature Power will become Tri Attack, Secret Power will have a 30% chance of afflicting an opposing Pokémon with paralysis and Camouflage will change the user's type to Normal.

For free battle no account on the Global Link is neccesary, and the only rules are that a player may not use duplicate Pokémon or duplicate held items on their team. This noticably means players are allowed to use both Restricted Pokémon and Special Pokémon in their team. Pokémon do not need a [[Blue_pentagon|pentagon]] to be used in free battle. Special rulesets are not available in free battle.

Special battles are a unique format within rated battles, and the specifics of this format change every battle season. A common theme is for special battles to use the current [[Play!_Pok%C3%A9mon#Video_Game_Championships|VGC]] ruleset, but they also often have completely different rules.

==Online Competition==
Online competitions require the player to own a [[Pokémon Global Link]] account, a [[Pok%C3%A9mon_Trainer_Club|Trainer Club]] account, and to register for the competition beforehand. The player must put an eligible team for the competition in their [[Battle Box]] before starting their first battle, and can't remove the pokemon until the competition is over. The player must use the 3ds the battle box was registered on to battle in the competition. Battle competitions last typically three days, though some competitions last four or five. Players are only allowed a set amount of battles every day during the competition, usually ten. Battle competitions offer a reward for players that participate in at least three battles. This is most commonly 1000  [[Poké Miles]], but occasionally an event pokémon or item will be given out. Another important aspect to battle competition are that the International Challenges are one of the ways to earn [[Play!_Pok%C3%A9mon#Video_Game_Championships|championship points]] for the videogame championships.
